Provides information about the data available from the Survey of Employment and Unemployment Patterns (1994-1997) in the form of an Expanded Confidentialised Unit Record File (CURF). The paper explains data content, technical details and conditions of use.

The Expanded CURF contains additional data items to those available in the basic CURF and is only accessible through the Remote Access Data Laboratory (RADL). (The basic CURF for the Survey of Employment and Unemployment Patterns is available either on CD-ROM or via RADL.) For more information about accessing CURFS, see Services We Provide - Confidentialised Unit Record Files at www.abs.gov.au.

The Survey of Employment and Unemployment Patterns was a longitudinal survey. Data were collected from the same individuals in three waves covering the period September 1994 to September 1997. The survey provided detailed labour market activity information, information on training and job offers, and a wide range of socio-demographic information.
